The Horse Sense Blog compares the nonsense in today's news with good ol' fashioned horse sense

“…I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve.… It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country.Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.” - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it." - George Orwell

Deflects, Lies, And Videotape

Here’s the Nonsense:President Obama is doing his best to get to the bottom of what happened
in Benghazi.It won’t affect his
reelection.

Here’s the Horse Sense:President Obama, his administration and his campaign have done
everything they can to deflect attention from the Benghazi attacks, lie about
it, and cover it up to keep it out of the public eye so that he can get reelected.But even if he’s reelected that won’t be the
end of it.

Deflects, lies, and videotape are the very issues that
could not only stop Obama’s reelection, they could bring down his presidency
even if he is reelected.These three
things could be the Achilles heel of his presidency.Even if he is reelected, if the American
people ever understand what has been happening it will be a scandal so large
that it will drive Obama from the presidency much the same way that Nixon was
forced out by Watergate.

Continually we have seen this administration sidestep
facts, twist truths, and manipulate information on Benghazi.Americans deserve the truth but even Congress
is being denied access to information.This brazen cover up is another example of how this administration
flaunts their actions while feigning ignorance in the situation.

After Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans were
killed in Benghazi we were told that it was because of a YouTube film insulting
Muslims that someone had made.Later we
learned that not only did the White House know that that wasn’t the cause, they
knew it within just over two hours.

But that wasn’t enough, now we learn from Retired Army Lt.
Col. Tony Shafer that his sources informed him that President Obama watched the
Benghazi attacks in real-time on video from the White House, then followed it
up for weeks blaming the YouTube video instead of admitting that they knew it
was a preplanned terror attack.

If that wasn’t enough, the drone that was flying over the
attack had taken video of the events and the White House has classified it so
that Senators who want to see it cannot get to it.This administration wants to keep quiet what
happened at least until after the election because they don’t want it to hurt
Obama’s reelection chances.

However, even if they can hold it off for now, if it
comes out after the election it could force Obama out of office much like Nixon
was forced out of office not too long after his reelection.The American people won’t put up with deflecting
the truth and lying to cover things up when American lives have been lost.

We have learned that Secretary of State Clinton asked for
more security for the consulate in Benghazi but Obama turned it down.It was the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on
America, this consulate is located in an area of the world where radical
Islamists are known to be, and the president did not take preemptive action to
protect American lives at a time when it would obviously be more dangerous.Yet the president ignored those dangers and
allowed our people to be attacked with no real defenses.Now if all this isn't enough, Frank Gaffney writes at Townhall.com that Catherine Herridge and Bret Baier of Fox News, Aaron Klein at WND.com, and Claire Lopez at RadicalIslam.org through their investigative reporting along with information developed by congressional investigators have uncovered these disturbing details:"It now appears that Amb. Stevens was there - on a particularly risky day, with no security to speak of and despite now-copiously-documented concerns about his own safety and that of his subordinates - for another priority mission: sending arms recovered from the former regime's stocks to the 'opposition' in Syria."

We’ve also been told that while the attack was underway
it was not possible to get help to them from outside the area.It’s even been said that Obama has ultimately
claimed that he gave an order for help to be sent but no one followed through
with the order.

Tyrone Woods, one of the former Navy SEALs that went
against orders to help fellow Americans who were under attack, was using a
laser designator to direct an aircraft (it would have been a C130 or even a
drone that was armed) where to strike.But the administration’s story is that no help could get there.Whether the drone was armed or there was a
C130 to follow that guidance and attack, one of those aircraft had to be on
site for him to have used the laser designator in the first place.

But Woods and the others died because no one helped
them.Someone had to have ordered the
aircraft not to attack or the attack would have gone ahead to try to save
American lives.No one is admitting that
that was the situation, let alone admitting who gave the order not to attack.

While we haven't seen proof for the story, there are rumors that when the calls for help came in General Carter
Ham, head of AFRICOM, made a move to help and thegatewaypundit.com reported
that this is what they learned from Tiger Droppings had happened:

The information I heard
today was that General
[Carter] Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House
received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place.
General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the
Pentagon that he had a unit ready.

General Ham then received
the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help
anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a
minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended
General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.

The story continues that
now General Rodiguez would take General Ham’s place as the head of Africom.

So here we have a change in generals that sure appears to
be to cover up what happened (although as I type this I am listening to the news and now the White House is claiming that General Ham was planning on a career change anyway - I guess that change happening within one minute of his saying he was sending help to Benghazi is just a coincidence).

This
should send a shiver down the spine of every American.America does not leave its people
helpless.We go to any lengths we must
have to in order to protect and save Americans.This president did not do that.

Whether Barack Obama directly made these decisions or
they were made by someone working for him, they are indefensible.The mainstream media may, in an effort to get
him reelected, try to cover this up until after the election. But each day more
information is coming out and it all will eventually come out.When it does Americans will not accept these
kinds of actions by their Commander-In-Chief.If President Obama is reelected it may be a second term that is cut
short by the truth as he is forced out of office.This is a travesty and America cannot stand
for it.

How Should Christians Vote in 2016?

While Donald Trump got the vast majority of the Christian vote in the primaries, now that the primaries are over some who did not support him are struggling with their vote. What should they do? Can they eliminate their responsibility by saying they wash their hands of the election results and either not vote or vote for a candidate that is guaranteed to lose? Or if they look at the Bible will they find that, like Pontius Pilate, they cannot wash their hands of their responsibility? Well known Christian radio and TV host had Janet Parshall on his show to discuss it. You can click here to go to his Facebook page with her excellent response.

IMPORTANT: Candidate Eligibility Is Nothing To Ignore

A lot of people scoff at the issue of candidate eligibility. It's no laughing matter. Because it wasn't taken seriously in 2008, we've had severe changes in our government from which we may never recover. Now, in 2016, we are faced with serious eligibility problems among the Republican candidates. I've spent months pulling together the information included in this lengthy paper. It is an important issue and you should be informed BEFORE YOU VOTE.Click here to read and/or download this information.
